Although it was a short week with our first snow day, we still packed in lots of learning! Here is a peek into the learning we did this week.
In reading, we prepared for and held our second debate of the year. The class worked hard to prepare individually and then with their entire team to be ready to support their side. Ask your child which side of the debate they were on and why.
In math, we are began our unit on division. We spent the week practicing our division facts, solving extended division facts and finding the area of unknown sides. The following IXL lessons will be helpful for your child to practice during this unit. IXL E.1-E.19
In science, the students are continuing to create designs that will control erosion in their stream tables. They were so excited to see that some of their ideas matched actual designs that they researched when they were finished!
In writing, we are in the middle of writing personal essays. The students learned how to write a strong five paragraph essay with an introduction and conclusion. I have been very impressed with their writing in this unit! Up next will be writing persuasive essays.
We still have several open slots for Mystery Readers! Please feel free to sign up if you'd like to come read to our class.
Have a wonderful weekend!
